Classroom Corner Week of March 10-14

This week in our classroom-


Religion- 5th grade will be learning about Reconciliation and the Anointing of the Sick.  The 6th graders will be reading about the Lord's passion, the Good Shepherd story, and St. Maximilian Kolbe.  Both grades wrote down two Lenten promises- one thing to give up and one thing to add during this Lenten season.  Ask your child about what they chose, and help support them on their Lenten journey.


Social Studies- The 5th graders are finishing up their chapter on the First Americans.  We have had fun reading about the different Indian tribes who lived across the United States.  This week, they will be assigned an end of the chapter project and assignment to replace their test over this material.  The 6th graders just started a new chapter on ancient Chinese history.  This week, we are reading about China's geography and dynasties.


Language Arts- This week, our spelling/vocab words come from "Bio" meaning "life".  Test on Friday.  We are continuing to learn comma rules- this week, the last 6 rules and a quiz on Friday!  We are also going to start writing a narrative about the Super Hero we created!


Reading- We are going to continue reading Lincoln's Last Days.  We are in Part 2 of the book- the conspiracy to assassinate- very interesting reading!  By the end of this week, the students should be halfway to their March AR goal, and about finished reading their book project book so that they can start working on the project- due Thursday, March 27th!


THIS WEEK-
Thursday, March 13- FIELD TRIP
Friday, March 14- Picture Day
